Found it a bit hard to follow (What's apr) but overall this is good news!
*** On another subject ***
As a sidebar, I'm replying to this email from Icedove on the server at
home using a tightvnc connection (via ssh) here in the office. Actually
works pretty darn well. Handles flash animations, etc ok...

Rivet (rvt) developers are hashing out policies for short and long
term development. There are 3-4 competent people developing under the

One developer has begun writing tcl/rvt test scripts to verify
apache1/rvt1 and apache2/rvt2 at the same feature level. This is a
promising indication development will continue long term. The sqlite
project took this approach; over 98% of sqlite code is testable.
Sqlite is widely used, and Richard Hipp, its main author, makes a
living supporting the code.

Developers agreed to write to the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) api.
When apache went from 2.0 to 2.2, much code not written to the APR broke.

Developers will deal with threading only after stable features and
tests are complete for rvt1 & rvt2.
The team is cleaning up subversion trunk files and making autoconf
work on various distros including Debian, OpenBSD, FreeBSD.
